Visceral Games Invites Players To Tear
Open The 'Gates Of Hell' With Dante's Inferno Demo

Experience One of the Most Anticipated Games
of 2010… in 2009

Spend the holidays in hell!
Visceral Games™, the award-winning developers behind the critically-acclaimed
Dead Space™ franchise and a studio of Electronic Arts Inc., today announced a
demo for Dante’s Inferno™. Coming this December, the ‘Gates of Hell’ demo
includes the entire opening level and gives gamers a taste of Visceral Games’
blockbuster adaptation of Dante Alighieri’s epic poem, The Divine Comedy.

The ‘Gates of Hell’ demo will
introduce players to the game’s hero, epic story and intense action gameplay,
tracing Dante’s battles from the surface all the way to the Gates of Hell.
Players will experience fast-paced hack-n-slash combat as they fend off waves of
enemies before taking on the ultimate battle against Death. After defeating this
boss, Dante will be armed with Death’s scythe, a powerful holy cross, and will
be ready to tear open the Gates of Hell. The demo also features two stunning
cinematic movies made by Blur, the award-winning visual effects, animation and
design studio.

“Our main goal from the start of
this project has been to create a journey that will make gamers truly feel like
they are going through hell,” said executive producer Jonathan Knight. “The demo
will give everyone some insight into how we are treating the story and a taste
of the gameplay. And with nine more circles of hell to explore once the game
comes out in February, we are literally just scratching the surface.”

EA’s Dante’s Inferno is an epic
descent through Dante Alighieri’s nine circles of hell – limbo, lust, gluttony,
greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. At a blazing-fast 60 frames
per second, each circle features unique environments, all new creatures,
terrifying demons, story elements and are scored distinctly to set a tone that
fits each circle of sinners.

Gamers will get to go to hell in
North America beginning February 9, 2010 and in Europe on February 12, 2010 for
the PlayStation®3, the Xbox 360®, and the PlayStation® Portable (PSP®). The
Gates of Hell demo will be available on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles.

Dante’s Inferno has not yet been rated by the
ESRB or PEGI. For more information on Dante’s Inferno, please follow the Dante’s
